If you're like me, you're busy running the household, getting the kids to school and possibly holding down a job to boot. The end of the day is usually seen as a war zone when it comes to the kitchen; who wants what for dinner and how quick you can get everyone fed. This was me a couple of months ago.
Now, we all sit around the dining table, eating healthy food and having good conversation, while at the same time saving cash!
How did I do this, you may ask? I discovered homemadegourmet; simple pre-packaged products that only require the basic of added ingredients. Dinners can be made in as little as 15 minutes while at the same time, saving you $$ on your grocery shopping bill, by only requiring the additional purchase of these basic additional ingredients (fresh meats etc).

Oh, Lynn, please tell me you've at least made Spam Wellington! It's to die for, erm, from.
So, what do you use in place of the pate on the Wellington? Turkey Spam? And do you buy the puff pastry or make it from scratch?! 😉

paté = liverwurst spread
Gotta make your own puff pastry. Start by rendering some pork fat for lard, to use in place of the butter.

I must say I'm very disappointed that it was a commercial site trying to sell things that any enterprising cook could easily make themselves at a fraction of what you are charging.

Lynn, Lynn, haven't you tried Spam sushi? It's all the rage in Hawaii.
Really, it's tasty good. When I've had it, the Spam was grilled first before getting rolled up with seaweed and vinegared rice. Yummie. And I wouldn't ordinarily eat Spam.
Just got a freebie book from my local bookstore called "The Surprising Power of Family Meals." I wouldn't have paid $ for it but this was an advance copy they send to bookstores. The book is an extensively researched argument for all the good things the family meal does for people:
teach manners discourage smoking, drug use & teen pregnancy help kids do better in school prevent eating orders and obesity build literacy, vocabulary and conversational skills etc. etc.
Trouble is, we've been doing the eating in shifts thing because hubby gets home at 7 and we're all too hungry to wait that long for dinner. We eat home cooked food, but not often all at once. I am thinking of reorganizing the kids' schedules so we can eat together. It's really important...

You'll have to scroll quite a bit to find it. or use "find".

Spam is a big seller in Guam and Hawaii. I think it's great. A very useful invention.
Living in Hawaii for a few years, I had at a Hawaiian restaurant some of their local dishes. One I was particularly fond of was Spam and Cabbage. But I've never bought a can of it here on the mainland. You just gotta be there to enjoy it, I guess. Dee

I've never been to Hawaii but I really enjoy Spam, I buy it by the case. In summer I like to add cubed Spam to all kinds of salads; tossed, pasta, potato, marinated bean, etc. I like Spam better cold than cooked. I only like the Original Spam; the Lite-Low salt/fat, Turkey, Smoked versions are an entirely different product, they're gross, even smell awful. Spam is a very handy pantry product and requires no refrigeration. Since moving to this rural area I eat a lot more Spam and way less cold cuts... the delis here in hillybilly land ain't any too sanitary... already got sick twice. Never got sick from Spam. I think Spam on rye with mustard, lettuce, tomato, and lotsa sliced raw onyun is gonna be lunch.

I've had several Spam sammiches this week (too hot to cook), they are very good eating...

You and my husband's tastes are similar. I should correct myself when I say that "I've never bought a can of it here..." He will have it -- spam, spam & eggs! I turn away. Dee

Does anyone remember the Montey Python vikings sining about SPAM? In the song they say SPAM 97 times. A SPAM museum opened in Houston in 2001. SPAM came about in 1937 when Hormel came out with a product they called Hormel Spiced Ham. They held a contest to name the product and the winner got a whole $100 for coming up with (SP)iced H(am). In Manila, Philippines there is an eatery called Spamjam where everything on the menu is made with SPAM. In 2002 the 6 billionth can was produced. In Hawaii, 5.5 cans are eaten(meat first) per person, 6.7 million per year. South Korea eats more than that.

Yes, I remember Monty Python's skit(s) about spam. That's why I said that my husband likes "spam, spam & eggs." I never think of Spam that I don't think of the Monty Python skit. Fan of Monty Python, Dee
